I sat the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional exam this morning. This exam is hard, probably the hardest of the AWS exams I have taken to date. I did it in about half the allowed time. Generally, the test is challenging as it covers a lot of topics and each answer always had two correct choices. The entire exam is a challenge to pick the more correct answer based on the scenario and question with a driving factor of one more or more of the following, scalability, cost, recovery time, performance or security.
I felt like I passed the exam while doing it, but its always a relief to see:
Congratulations! You have successfully completed the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional exam and you are now AWS Certified.
Here is my score breakdown from the exam.
